Can't you see he doesn't care He likes to play with you that's all He's waiting on someone else's call He's playing it cool Why's it so hard to reach you? Why are you still out there Beating your heart against the wall Waiting for Jericho to fall You hard-headed fool Didn't your mama teach you Anything at all You can't treat the wrong man right Or change a devil to an angel overnight He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite You can't treat the wrong man right You can't treat the right man wrong When you're out on the town Acting mean and head-strong He'll sit home and wait for you all night long You can't treat the right man wrong I heard it on the telephone A woman was whispering in my ear And though I was trying not to hear The message came through She was someone who knew you I guess she told me everything I wasn't listening anyway I know she had a lot to say But nothing was clear I only remember her voice Above the sound of the pinball Saying to me You can't treat the wrong man right Or change a devil to an angel overnight He'll steal all your love and and fly by night You can't treat the wrong man right You can't treat the right man wrong You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight You can't treat the right man wrong You can't treat the wrong man right
